Mistakes I have made
following temptations that come
falling away
standing here in the storms
I have in my error created
I know, how I know
I was wrong
to listen to a voice that called
come and see
view what is here, available
ready, for the taking
come and see
I was wrong, so very wrong
when I listened to the voice
calling to me, whispering
listen, hear what is available
take it into yourself
enjoy the sounds, the words
listen
I was wrong, so very wrong
when I heard that same voice
calling, teasing, taunting me
come and see, taste what is here
feel it as it flows across willing lips
come and take advantage of this
enjoy this
I stumbled and I fell
when I listened to the voice
calling from the sides of the path
calling from the edge of the darkness
I was wrong
how wrong
so wrong
and I know this
Now Lord, my God my Savior
I know
this is not something I can fix alone
I cannot correct my errors
fight the temptations
alone
I know my Lord
I need You
for You have promised a way out
You have promised to me
strength from You
lift me Lord from this
for You are the only way
back to the light
back to the right path
away so far away
from the wrongs
temptation follows, calls
I know
from here on my knees before You
the weight of my wrongs on my shoulders
I know my wrongs
but I know Lord my God
You are my strength
to walk away
Your song in my heart
Your words sounding and resounding
again in my heart
covers that voice
the taste of Your love
the feel of Your peace
Your song
always Your song Lord
of sweet merciful grace
that forgives
that gives strength
that gives peace
only You Lord
only with You
can I walk away from the temptations
that call
in that small voice
teasing and tricking
from the side of the way
